So, I finally purchased my new gaming rig and I felt Crysis 2 was a game I had to pick up. The combination of stunning graphics and running around in a Nanosuit lead me to choose it over Witcher 2, Portal 2, DarkSpore, Brink, etc... there's no shortage of great choices.

Install and watch the cinematic. I'm grinning ear to ear. Play the intro sub level and I'm beyond excited. Then I get the suit and go to walk outside for the first time... the sun assaults my eyes as I open the door. It's blinding. Flashing. Cool, right?

Except after a few minutes it doesn't stop.

I play a little more. I'm back in doors. Everythings good. Walk outside.E pilepsy inducing flashes return. This is not normal. So I do what anybody does, I google it. Apparently, I'm not alone.

Are there any plans to fix this? Apparently it's a pretty widespread problem w/ dual gpu graphics cards and people in SLI / Crossfire configurations. The game is unplayable and I'm beyond dissapointed. Especially because I purchased Crysis 1 off of steam and well, I couldn't play that either because the CD keys provided were invalid. Thankfully that was solved within a few days. On the other hand, Crysis 2 has been out since March 25, 2011 and I haven't even seen an official response. Honestly, if I can't play it, I'd like a refund. This is highly... highly dissapointing. And no, I will not play the game in windowed mode. The boarder is incredibly irritating and it disables one of the GPUs.

Any response would be appreciated.

you'll need radeonpro, available at http://www.radeonpro.info once you have that downloaded and installed, add a new profile for crysis 2, the most important part really is to set it into compatibility mode for FEAR, and alternate frame render

There's a 110+ pages post about it here: http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10994
To keep that thread short you either get lucky with the latest drivers and CAPs from AMD, or use RadeonPro with another profile (and suffer the performance impact), or use the original Crysis2.exe from the disc (copy it into your Crysis2 install-dir and replace the updated .exe). What you wont get is a fix from CryTec, but they'll be very happy about the money you just spent on their nonworking game...

Reading through that thread really made me sad. Apparently Crytek thinks they've fixed the problem with the 1.4 patch, ATI's catalyst patch and ATI's 05/06/11 CAP profiles. They didn't. I'm still getting flicker. I guess I'll cross my finges for DX11? That's pretty crappy. Seems like the PC customers being treated like second class citizens and in addition to that, if you're ATI, you get the back of the bus treatment. Really dissapointed.

They don't care about us, they transitioned to console market, left us behind. They did it for the money.

I don't blame em, in this economy, I'd probably have done the same thing in their shoes. Still, it's not right.

Dragon Age II was also a towering disappointment... Compared to that game, Crysis 2 is a much better game. They better not screw up Mass Effect 3.

11.4 driver with 11.4 CAP1 should fix it. i had the same thing with my 6990.

11.4 driver with 11.4 CAP1 should fix it. i had the same thing with my 6990.

I tried 11.5 Catalyst and 11.4 CAP2 to resolve the issue. Still tons of flicker.

Should I try 11.4 and 11.4 cap1?

I wish i had more solutions for you. I just blame the game. no one should have to go through this much trouble to play a dam game.

Weird...

With 11.4 drivers and CAPs my 5970s are just chewing this game up and spitting it out...not a flicker in sight. 60 fps locked.

I had the flickering for quite awhile but I thought they fixed it...? I had to use Radeon Pro with Bioshock profile just to play the game...but I uninstalled it ( Radeon Pro), uninstalled and cleaned drivers, re-installed drivers ( 11.4 ) and the flickering is gone.

Now if they could just add some AA to get rid of the jaggies.
